Fast-transient power systems. Embedded controllers operating in millisecond time scales. Instrumentation and controls that turn a gas turbine into an intelligent machine. Backed by Bessemer, Y Combinator and South Park Commons.
About the role
We are hiring Build Engineers to own modules of the engine end-to-end: concept, design, drawings, supplier interface, first article, assembly, and test integration. You will not hand a drawing to "manufacturing." You are manufacturing — and design, and supply chain, and the test stand tech you brought a coffee to this morning. You will delete parts. You will simplify interfaces. You will put your hands on hardware. And when your module fires on the test stand, it will fire because you made it fire.
What they're looking for
- Own a module of the Superpower engine — turbomachinery, mechanical systems, or structures/integration — from requirements through test
- Drive design decisions that minimize part count, simplify assembly, and shorten the path from drawing to hardware
- Live at the interface between design and fabrication: work directly with our in-house shop and external suppliers to get parts made right, fast, and on budget
- Integrate your hardware onto test stands. Watch it run. Break it. Fix it. Ship the next rev
- Raise the bar on everyone around you
- Real DFM/DFA intuition — you can look at a part and see how it will be made
More about this role
A jet engine is a few thousand parts surviving temperatures above the melting point of the metals they're made from, at rotational speeds that push the limits of material science, for thousands of hours. Most engines take a decade and a billion dollars to develop. We are building ours differently.
At Boom we are developing Symphony — the engine that will power Overture, the world's fastest airliner and Superpower, the natural gas turbine and revenue engine that fuels our endeavors while unblocking next-gen AI data centers. We are building it in Denver, at a pace and cost point the industry says is impossible, because the industry has forgotten what's possible.
